Chapter 1616 Five-Year Plan

The Battle of Sakurajima probably started in early May 2005, and it was probably the end of July when everything came to an end.

Judging from the time of a battle, it is actually quite short.

But if you look at the battle losses, it’s probably the largest single battle loss for humanity in history.

After all, if you only look at the numbers, even if you include the legendary Bai Qi who killed 400,000 people, the world-famous meat grinder battles of World War I and World War II were not even a fraction of the fall of the island nation.

After all, the population of Sakurajima at that time was in the hundreds of millions, and the only ones who were rescued in the end were the lucky ones who could take the boat.

The remaining ones may not survive more than half a year.

".Plane war is too cruel."

"No matter how cruel the world wars were in the past, they were still fights between humans. Even inhuman lunatics wanted to occupy territory and enslave the people. But now, the alien races probably only need land and food."

"They view us as food. Humans who cannot swim are not even worth being slaves. Some places raise livestock and later find that the cost-effectiveness is very low. They cannot grow fat as fast as pork and beef, and the taste is not good. Just deal with it."

"Perhaps, we should strengthen cooperation between countries. In the face of foreign races, there seems to be no difference in nationality, ethnicity, skin color, etc."

Even though there have been numerous publicity campaigns about the cruelty of plane wars in the past, they are not as direct and cruel as this time.

In the past world wars and even wars of annihilation, everyone is of the same race no matter how you say it. Except for a very few who are completely inhumane, killing requires a price. Genocide is against human nature and lacks morality. At least in the past hundred years In history, wars have been much milder. The mildness has made many people forget that this is essentially a competition for survival.

"UT (International Joint Consultation Organization) is expected to be reorganized this month and will establish a more efficient national liaison mechanism. It is also expected to form a military coordination committee within six months to coordinate military operations of various countries."

"Half a year? The day lilies are already cold."

This news made Lu Ping'an feel subtle. The invasion of foreign enemies did unite the world a little, but only a little.

Now in less than three months, almost all the scattered island countries in the Pacific have shipped. In another half a year, I am afraid that they will all be shipped to Europa and Citigroup. And this is not a powerful organization like the United World Organization or the Earth Government in novels and movies. It is the level of "military cooperation" and "coordination of military operations."

To put it in layman's terms, it means creating a group for everyone. If something goes wrong, everyone can talk about it directly. There is no need to make appointments to meet each other on the phone.

Useful, but not very useful.

And the coordination of military operations is even more ridiculous. Are you worried that your country's military will be controlled by other countries? Therefore, "coordination" is probably the nominal limit, but more of a stage for war of words and shirk of responsibility.

"Both the theory of quick victory and the theory of defeat are undesirable, especially for people like us."

Lieutenant General Su, Lu Ping'an's nominal deputy, is very optimistic. After all, this kind of international alliance is very new to him. It seems that the international situation is improving.

Two days ago, there was a direct phone call between Citigroup and Dongguo's military leaders. In the end, the two parties did not slap the table and curse each other. This is an epic historical progress.

We did suffer a loss in the early stage, but it was also because we were not prepared. When countries unite to deal with the crisis, the situation should get better and better. This is the mainstream concept in newspapers and periodicals recently.

In fact, this is also the view of most senior military officials. Countries have even begun to trade some second-tier military technologies, which means that countries do not regard each other as their main enemies and have begun to cooperate to a certain extent in reality.

Perhaps, before long, there will really be a "new thing" like the United Nations Army.

"hehe."

Lu Ping'an was too lazy to talk about it. Having experienced another world line, he had actually seen the United Nations military and knew the essence of this multinational coordination mechanism. Each country has its own operational goals and interests, and in the end it will most likely become A big country brings a group of younger brothers, and "union" eventually became a title.

"Young people, don't be so pessimistic. Let me tell you some good news. Our country has launched political reforms and military changes, the state parliament has given up some procedural responsibilities, and Wanging has prepared some good shows."

"It's fun, let's talk."

Having said that, Lu Ping'an was looking forward to it. After two lifetimes of experience, he did not believe in the United Nations, because a coalition that could not achieve consistent interests would appear weak and inefficient. However, Dongguo has always been a national system that can accomplish great things. It has done so many things before. It’s a good job like the Nirvana Project.

When it really plans to do something, you can still look forward to it.

"The protracted war has become a foregone conclusion, and it is natural to move from a normal state to a war state."

Lu Pingan looked at each other calmly, who doesn't know this? Get some hard stuff.

". A large-scale recruitment, at least 500,000 army and navy in the first phase. At the same time, we will start building a new air force. Airships will fully enter the second line. It seems that there are plans for new aircraft. The country will fully shift to the military industry. There is a five-year plan. By then, our weapons and equipment will be It will be different from now. You seem to have a military industry, and you must have had a share of the big orders at that time."

This is undoubtedly good news. The five-year plan is regarded as the traditional virtue of the East, and this time the comprehensive shift to the military industry is not just a slogan.

This means that all the previous technical reserves, alien knowledge, and extraordinary technologies have been unlocked, and all the reserves have begun to be industrialized, and then the world's first industrial capacity of the East Country will be used to transform them into military products to arm the army.

"You are also an important part of it. The army will be all extraordinary."

Well, this is really good news. Lu Ping'an finally understood why he felt that he was swept by the quasi-gods every few minutes. They were probably scared by him and were afraid that he would be defeated in this sea area.

Lu Ping'an thought about it and suddenly realized that this was not a new world that needed to climb the technology tree again. God knows what level the technical reserves in this world have reached.

And if he did not calculate wrong, the next round of technological innovation will completely change the form of war.

"Drones"

"Uh, do you have news too? This is indeed the focus of the new round of five-year plans. A large number of mechanical awakeners have been activated. The new AI Homo sapiens will get human rights. They will be our war partners."

Lu Ping'an was also stunned. He felt that Wan Jing was a bit extreme.

He only thought of the drone swarm brought by AI technology, but he did not expect that this side would directly use extraordinary AI.

Not to mention, just thinking about it can foresee a complete change in the form of war. The problem is always stability and security.

"Give human rights?"

"Well, the same level of citizenship as foreigners. By the way, the identity mechanism of foreign visitors should also be adjusted. There may be an honorary citizenship, which requires two years of service."

Okay, the Eastern version of the foreign mercenary army?

But at this moment, Lu Ping'an noticed that I am afraid that Wanjing's judgment of the situation is quite bad, and it is ready for a long-term war.

". Not only those fishmen, even if we survive the current disaster, the next time is sooner or later."

Lieutenant General Su patted Lu Ping'an on the shoulder, which was considered to comfort the young man and also an internal communication of the military high-level.

Obviously, the Eastern military is also undergoing reforms, not only in the military structure and military equipment, but also in strategic expectations. War will become long-term, then, war will become daily, quick victory is not desirable, and daily preparations and rotations will become the mainstream.

Lu Ping'an opened his eyes and looked at the endless coastline, the isolated island that was being eroded.

Perhaps, this loss will buy time for the East Country, an important strategic transformation and mobilization period. On the map, it may be a failed battle, but in the long-term strategy, it is a great victory of exchanging space for time and unifying thoughts to adjust the internal form.

". For the continuation of mankind, please save us, even if it is just children."

Inexplicably, Lu Ping'an remembered the words of a disaster victim who longed for salvation.

Looking at the island that has gradually fallen into a foreign land, he opened his mouth and could only say the same words in the end.

". For the continuation of the race, for the continuation of human civilization."
